Turkish Restaurants near Tysons, VA

“The food was great. We had the iftar buffet. It is expensive at $50 per person but it’s worth it. Flavorful food.

One complaint I have was being charged for a dessert without any indication that this was not part of the buffet. I took a biscoff cake that was in the fridge within the buffet line and later found out that this was not part of the buffet. I feel this was very misleading as there was no sign indicating that items in the fridge are not part of the buffet. This can be an easy mistake for anyone to make. If it is not part of the buffet, please place a sign and/or lock the fridge. I feel this is a very easy mistake to make as there was no indication that these items are not part of the buffet price and that they have an additional cost.

I also think it would be better to reorganize how tables are laid out. We were seated towards the back of the restaurant and it was very cramped. Some tables had high chairs as well which basically blocked our only 2 paths out and we had to squeeze through. I think this poses a major safety concern and should be addressed given the amount of people seated in the restaurant. Please either reposition some tables or reposition where high chairs should be located at tables to ensure they do not block the walkways.

Other than this, food was good, service was good, and they had a large selection of drinks available. I do plan on trying them out again as the food was delicious.“

“Great people. Good food. However, the bread was terrible. By the time it was served to me it was hard and beyond crunchy. It is definitely not a Turkish style bread. Bread is the main part of the Turkish dinner experience. You need to think about this item a bit more. Not difficult to improve. Otherwise, the food was great.
Teşekkürler.“

“I stopped by Taste of Istanbul this afternoon for the first time. For the most part it was really good. I ordered a potato pide, 2 doner kebab, mixed meze, and pistachio baklava. Everything was delicious except for the”baklava”, which turned out to be two greasy dough cylinders. No phyllo, no honey, no pistachio filling. I was disappointed that I wasted $7.00 for inedible dough I ended up throwing in the garbage. Get the kebabs, stay away from their version of baklava.“

“es el mejor restaurante en el área de Mclean, con la auténtica cocina de Turkia, deliciosa en todo su sentido.“

“Just an incredible restaurant - amazing food out of this world our server was simply impressive with one month on the job - I can't say enough good things about him. I will always be back !!!“

“Food is good by local standards but I wish they would not call it Kabob. it is KEBAP. Or do not call yourself a Turkish restaurant.“

“Amazing breakfast for two!“

“In recent years there seems to be a proliferation of small-plate Mediterranean restaurants. But Yayla remains as one of the best, reasonably priced originals in northern Virginia. There is a pleasing range of mezzes, salads, entrees hot and cold, flat breads, spreads, etc . I had a Yayla mule, 3 spreads, lemony rice soup and superb shrimp. Friends chose a range of other dishes. I can guarantee whatever you choose, you won’t be disappointed. Everything is flavorful, fresh and beautifully presented. Wait staff and servers are friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and not obtrusive. Don’t miss the nice selection of creative cocktails, wine variety and desserts. Continued success and best wishes for this popular bistro!“
